Be on speed by the gate
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 142 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,579 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,579 ft of the 10,426 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,126 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 777-300ER taxied from the parking area to runway 33L at Kuwait International Airport (OKKK) for a duration of 10 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 33L, the aircraft utilized a takeoff distance of 8,123 ft, representing 73 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 177 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 106 °F, wind 4 kt from 0°, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile south of Al Farwaniyah, climbing from 1,115 ft asl to 34,997 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,881 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 128 nm.
Level cruise began 5 miles west of OIBQ Khark Airport and continued for 45 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 418 nm.
A second climb segment started 49 miles east of OIKE Kerman Airport, raising altitude from 35,034 ft asl to 36,987 ft asl, a gain of 1,954 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 29 nm.
Subsequent cruise commenced 52 miles north of Bam and lasted 189 minutes, during which 1,647 nm were traversed.
Descent began 5 miles east of VGRJ Shah Mokhdum Airport, descending from 37,002 ft asl to 1,274 ft asl, a loss of 35,728 ft in 21 minutes while covering 121 nm.
The final approach to runway 32 at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (VGHS) involved a descent from 1,290 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 100 seconds, and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 32 was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt; touchdown occurred at 1,070 ft down the runway at 131 kt and a vertical rate of minus 182 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 16 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported temperature 82 °F, wind 0 kt at 0°, with no crosswind or headwind.
The rollout distance measured 5,265 ft, representing 50 % of the runway length, and runway rollout alignment was described as very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,354 nm, required 293 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 81,959 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300ER approached runway 32 at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport with an unstable profile at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 5 kt below VREF, and descended from 1,290 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 100 seconds, receiving a stabilisation-gate score for the approach.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and established a threshold speed of 136 kt, meeting the expected parameters for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 1,070 ft down the runway at a speed of 131 kt with a vertical rate of minus 182 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 5,265 ft, representing 50 % of the 10,426 ft runway.
Rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft decelerated within the 5,265 ft distance recorded for the rollout.
Maintain the target approach speed at or above VREF by the 1,000 ft gate to avoid an unstable speed condition, and ensure centreline alignment within tighter tolerances to eliminate the 16-ft offset observed at touchdown.
